Got Some Question On The Half Price Workshop Sale
IS EVERYTHING HALF PRICE? That was the first question I got a few times. — Are all the pop-ups half price as well? Yes. — All the Lifetime Subscriptions? Yes. — Even the bundles of other workshops, like the Classic Bundles? Or Pop-up bundles? Yes and yes. — Every WMG Publishing Workshop, Lecture, Pop-Up, Class, or Subscription on Teachable is HALF PRICE! — At least until 5pm on Friday, West Coast Time. So all day tomorrow and a ways into Friday. That’s right, on anything available on Teachable (hit “See All Courses) right now, just use the code SpringTraining2020 and get any class or workshop half price. (And if you…

Spring Training Half Price Workshop Special
We Are All Stuck At Home… With the exceptions, of course, of the brave health care workers, police, grocery store clerks, and others struggling to help out, or to keep their restaurant alive with take out. No one is traveling. And all of us are staying at home making sure we do not spread this virus and give the hospitals a chance to beat this thing. So to stay sane, we need to keep focused. Back in March (a very long month ago that now seems like a year), Allyson and Kris both suggested we give writers some real deals on workshops to help out through the coming weeks. And…

Something Fun…
Listen to Me Babble for 45 Minutes… Live… At 10 AM West Coast time, I will be on the Draft2Digital Spotlight talking publishing and writing with super writer and editor Mark Leslie Lefebvre, who also works for D2D. It will be live and could get silly, because Mark and I tend to get silly at times. For those of you who don’t know, for a number of years now, Mark has been our anchor at both the Master Business Class and the Anthology Workshop. His depth of knowledge of fiction and publishing and his willingness to help writers goes beyond any words I might say. And he likes beer. And…

Thanks for the Positive Comments
Glad The New Look Is A Good One… I sure like it and am working every day now to update all the information here. I will shout out in a month or so when I think I have most things updated. Amazing how far a web site can get behind when a person like me doesn’t much care about promotion of my own books. I just like writing them and putting them out. But now I figure if I can get this new look caught up, I have a better chance of keeping it caught up. One can dream, right? (grin) And speaking of my books, I have three collections…

Card Sharp Silver… Day 14
Ramping Back Up… The day was swallowed by a ton of detail stuff, mostly business. Made it to this computer around 11 am and did email and some details on this web site fixes. Also some work on the Cats Bundle (see below) and some work on the Cave Creek Kickstarter, which ended successfully. Yeah! And thank you, everyone, for supporting that project. I promise it will be some fun. And surveys will go out soon. Then Kris and I headed out around 1 pm for a long walk (about four miles total) to run an errand and then picked up take-out lunch on the way back. A ton of…

A Day of Other Work, Not Writing Fun
Nothing Done On The Card Sharp Silver Novel… So not even going to count this as a day on the book. But notice what I spent most of my day on. (grin) I think I finally brought the look of this blog from 1990s (maybe) to 2020. I have a ton to do to get the fiction stuff up to date under the different pages. And so some other stuff I want to add in. But in time I will get there. This sudden shift has been coming on for a while. And last night that old theme finally just broke and for a while I thought I would miss…

Card Sharp Silver… Day 2
Pretty Much A Wash-Out I hit the internet computer with my trusty protein bar at 11 am, and spent three hours working on various emails and business stuff. Typical Friday morning for me. Then I went for a mile one-way walk to see if one of our favorite restaurants was open for take-out. Nope. All shut down. Everything in Nevada is locked up tight these days except for essentials. So Kris called in lunch to another restaurant and I picked it up on the way back. 4,500 steps to start off the day. Took a nap (exhausted from the long last three weeks), then did more email and had another…

March Sadness Special Last Day!!
Ends at 5 pm West Coast Time Today (Thursday) I am working to get the April workshops up as quickly as I can, so they should be there three or four hours ahead of the end. I hope everyone is staying safe. Thursday I start, finally, the Cave Creek novel and will be writing about my writing day here every day, reporting problems, sessions, word counts, and so on. But for now, here is the information about the March Sadness Special one more time. No one traveling. And all of us stuck at home making sure we do not spread this virus, it’s time to turn attention to writing and…

Timing
So Much Business is Timing… Kris and I earlier were out for a walk (doing all the correct social distancing things, honest.) We can walk in downtown Las Vegas and not get close to anyone because this town is a ghost town, for the most part. Even the major casinos on The Strip are shut or shutting down. We are also supporting our local small restaurants where we can. Tonight, we walked to a restaurant that we love that had only been open for a month. We were the only two in there, plus one guy in a corner working on a computer. So real social distancing there. Never got…
